Engine Alliance
Engine Alliance is a joint venture founded equally by General Electric and Pratt & Whitney for the development and construction of large and powerful engines.
history
It was founded in 1996 in order to distribute the enormous development costs for large turbofan engines , which were also subject to new requirements in terms of noise, emissions and economic efficiency, over several shoulders. Originally, a new engine was to be developed for the planned Boeing 747-500 and -600 versions , as an engine with the necessary performance did not yet exist. But Boeing put these plans aside . At the same time, Airbus began planning the A3XX, later the Airbus A380 , and approached Engine Alliance for the purpose of developing a suitable engine. This then became the GP7200 engine.
product
The only product currently available is the GP7200 engine .
